Where they pull apart

Pin

Stands out: Hosted MCP plus an agent that sources and sequences against the req.

Watch out: ATS export is an add-on, not part of the base seat.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need Pin to be the ATS
  • Buyers who only want a contact finder

Yena

Stands out: Plain-language search that writes back to the ATS, plus MCP for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Copilot.

Watch out: Contact reveal is credit-metered on top of the seat, and this is an ATS rather than a Chrome finder.

Not the right fit for

  • US SMB teams that only need a cheap ATS
  • Buyers who want a Chrome extension as the product
